While I'm also not qualified to diagnose the problem, I would imagine it's something like this...

The major internet connections are like superhighways, with major central routers acting like exchanges. If a major superhighway had an accident blocking traffic, there would be personnel stationed at exchanges to help re-route the traffic, though that often occurs too late to prevent a bunch of backups. At any rate, people using Google Maps, Waze, etc. would see the accident and would likely be redirected to alternate routes that would normally be much slower - and would also be slowed down by the influx of higher than normal traffic.

The fact that the internet still worked albeit much slower than usual leads me to believe that something similar happened. While normally my internet traffic might go through a major hub in NYC and then onward to various carriers and hosts, etc. it had to be re-routed around that hub that is normally sub-optimal, and also ill-equipped to handle the spillover. (And in some cases, bandwidth was saturated, and failed altogether for some users for certain usage.)
Ah, that's a good point, I'd assumed from reading the article that the issues with Zoom and other services were also limited to the East Coast. Thanks for pointing out that possibility!
100% agree with the business model switch. I think products have a natural business model and for Twitter it's not advertising. I think it took time for the market to have appetite to pay for more subs, but it's here now. I really think this takes Twitter to the next level.

Yes, but behaving like grownups no longer activates enough Republican voters to win presidential elections with a clear majority. 1996 to 2020, only in 2004 did the Republican candidate get a majority of the votes.

Over that time period, Republican primary voters have evicted moderate Republicans in the House, and have started to successfully evict them from the Senate. The state GOP twitter accounts for Arizona, Oregon, and Hawaii have continued to peddle conspiracy theories, post-January 6. Arizona GOP have censured three Republicans for insufficient fealty to Trump: the widow of Sen. John McCain, former Sen. Jeff Flake, and the current governor. Senators Toomey, Portman, and Burr, all Republicans, are not running for re-election. It's not due to partisanship between Republicans and Democrats, but within the Republican party. They are all moderate Trump supporters, but that's not good enough now. Senators report a significant pressure campaign, very angry Republican constituents insisting upon a Trump acquittal no matter what, even including death threats. The pressure campaign is probably working, as evidenced by jurors claiming

Trump himself attacked Republicans, who wouldn't help him overturn the election, far worse than Democrats who were never part of the fold in the first place. The impeachment trial and conviction vote will demonstrate the degree to which the Republican party is really the Trump party, perhaps most especially the party of Trumpian primary voters.

Hi, GitLab team member here. You can spin up a cloud instance, or dive deeper into auto-scaling the GitLab CI/CD runner: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2017/11/23/autoscale-ci-runner...

Depending on your needs, automatically managing and deploying this could also be interesting. We have started a new project called the "5 min production app": https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2020/12/15/first-code-to-ci-cd...

Alternatively, partners provide hosted runners, if that is an option for you: https://partners.gitlab.com/English/directory/search?f0=Serv...
I feel like (at least modern) Indian cooking uses quite a bit of cauliflower and broccoli
we are still figuring out how we want to integrate with other schedulers.

One option would be that you configure your source/destination with the Airbyte UI or API and with the external scheduler you just reference to a connection object with an id.

We need to run some experimentations and talk to the community to see what makes the most sense. If you have some opinion / scenarios, do you want to write them in the ticket?

I do semiconductor digital physical design for the last 23 years. But almost everything I do is at the standard cell (AND/OR/flip flop) level. I generally don't do anything at the transitor level. I have seen some good comments here in the past.
We recently spent a couple weeks going over pricing with a GitLab regional Account Leader.

We already use GitLab for all our source repos, CI/CD pipelines, and had been using it for issue management as well — all fully self-hosted. The hope was to drop Jira, which was also being used for project planning, and fully adopt GitLab, but the costs were simply unjustifiable.

Basically GitLab ended up being a full order of magnitude more expensive. Even with discounts, which got things closer (but not all the way there), the fear was after a period of time, the discounts would be ended/phased out and we'd be stuck.

I'd love to see those features that compete directly with Jira (like roadmaps and multi-level epics) come down to the Premium level, which is more price/feature competitive.

We love GitLab, but find ourselves stuck using the free tier and paying for services we don't love, rather than supporting GitLab. I'd suspect we're not alone there, either.

How exactly is it clear to you? Is there overwhelming historical precedent? Is there a relevant physical or mathematical law? Have you done a simulation of all the different threats to determine which is the worst? What other threats have you deemed lesser: war, famine, disease, genocide, invasion, monetary collapse, cultural decline, criminality, dysgenics, poverty, environmental destruction, global warming?

Or is this just the latest fashionable idea backed up by “I’m smart” and maybe something you were told by your preferred source of information?

Eh, I get where you're coming from, but no. The ad industry is insidious and has exploited every means possible to hijack the user's attention: pop-ups, flashing banners, auto-playing videos with sound, inline ads that reflow what you're reading after they take way too long to load, extensions that insert ads, paying ISPs to insert ads, talking to Alexa through your TV...

An election theft is conspiracy by definition. The question is whether the conspiracy is feasible. But it is feasible if only a few counties or cities committed fraud. What makes conspiracy infeasible is widespread collusion without a mechanism of coordination and ensuring secrecy. Collusion in a few large municipalities does not seem obviously out of the question.

I remember my old EEE-PC 701: it got me into Linux, taught me about thin clients, and I've never really looked back. When I moved to the UK to start graduate school I purchased a huge 17 inch Dell Inspiron. After being dumb enough to loose my bus pass in under a month, I started walking the hour to campus everyday. Pretty soon that beast of a laptop seemed like a pretty bad idea, so I sold it for the EEE-PC and an early e-ink device, the iRex iLliad.

When I learned you could just ssh into beefy servers and use those for compute, it basically taught me CLI as well as remote editing. Pretty soon I was distro-hopping on the EEE until I found Arch Linux and then I settled on that. I eventually upgraded to a X31 ThinkPad when I grew tired of the microscopic screen, but without the EEE forcing me to think about a different way to do things I doubt I would have picked up many of my current skills. I even went so far as to install Linux on my Game Boy Advance and used that to check websites and emails on a backpacking trip across Europe.
You're most likely right, fortunately I don't possess quite the level of cynicism that my comment might have suggested. I do hope there was no one who believed my comment was made in anything but jest (at the expense of it's parent commenter), that would be disappointing.
We have FiOS in Boston and noticed it. Nothing terrible but for ~15 seconds at a time, recurring sporadically, we lost connection. Happened for a few hours, maybe 10am-1pm EST.

Based on other comments we probably just didn't notice the big actual outage that happened all at once.
Oh man, I absolutely hate whatever the hell they replaced it with. A couple years ago I wanted to make a simple video using slide based animation and positioning some music in it. I had done this before with MovieMaker so I knew it was dead simple and easy to use. Unfortunately, it turned out that it was retired and replaced with some absolute garbage tier application, that on first site, didn’t have the capabilities the old one had. I ended up just finding a copy of the old Windows Essentials via some shady link.

Twitter is opening up its full tweet archive to academic researchers for free
The trouble with paid social media is that the value is in the network, and becomes much less attractive if lots (maybe 90% of users) don't pay, and hence are removed from the service.

You could do freemium, but you'd make a lot less money (FB would anyway, maybe this would work for Twitter) without reducing your support costs.

So yeah, I'm not sure this would work in the current setup (even global privacy laws with teeth will move from individual level ads to cohort level ads). The trouble is not that subscription services are worse, it's that ads are super profitable if you're a really big service.
That's nonsense, you can't just centralize it, or just build it far away from cities. Transmission loss over distance is by far one of the biggest hurdles for delivering electricity.

So what if you can find one ideal area in North America with enough sunlight to theoretically power the whole world, it's not the point. Can you find a large enough spot of space with consistent enough sunlight in, say, Maine, to power even a single city there?

> Which in at least some cases means ignoring bugs

Indeed, but simplicity is the name of the game for exploratory programming. It's difficult to explore using languages requiring a lot of ceremony.

But then, that's when the time and funding constraints come in and prevent rewriting in more type sound languages. Which is why we end up with buggy python (if speed not an issue) or buggy C (if speed is an issue).

There are alternate paths. For example, APL tries to be terse enough that you can have the whole thing on a single screen. That's another attempt at bug prevention.

For example, I do my data wrangling in J.
Despite claims to the contrary, tape isn't dead just yet. They are still considerably cheaper than drives. An LTO-8 tape (12TB uncompressed capacity) can be had for about $100, while a 12TB HDD goes for some $300. Tape drives/libraries are quite expensive though, but that just shifts the break-even point out. For the largest sites, its still economical. Not sure, if backblaze is big enough (I'm sure they did their numbers). backglacier anyone?

All learning amounts to remembering. A machine learning model is basically remembered weights. Everything we've learned is what we remember as solidified in our neurons, etc.

Note that learning is not about discovering yourself. You also learn if you're capable of remembering (and optionally applying) something that somebody else taught you. Students e.g. learn a formula for X, the periodic table, etc.

And this contraption not only remembers (that is, learns), but also has an algorithm to figure the solution in the first place (that is, tries and discovers).

So the title "machine learning" or even "AI" is perfectly legitimate. It's not GAI, but it's also not 2020 (not that we have GAI in 2020).

This is definitely "ask a lawyer" territory but I'd expect those demands to be seen favorably by courts: the clear intent of the GPL is that someone who is allowed to have the v2 binary is also entitled to the v2 source.
I remember seeing an article on hacker news before about this. Someone actually worked out the math and you're right: there's such an infinitesimally small chance of having both and there is likely zero connection between the two conditions.

I'm not being dismissive and I'm not reducing the whole piece. I still look for an IRC channel and a mailing list for something by default when I want to join something.

Easy enough to just use "text messages" since it was not very long ago that you had to pay to receive them but had no ability to block them without disabling them entirely.

At least for those of us that were late adopters of text messages.
Definitely not alone. We use the self-hosted GitLab that comes with MatterMost out of the box: great!

Now offer something to kill of Jira at a reasonable price and you've got another customer. The functionality is all there, it's just distributed awkwardly across tiers for many small outfits.

We're using Azure DevOps at the bank I'm currently working at. I've been a long-time user of it actually, and am a big fan - I just don't see how GitLab's new pricing can compete with AzDo, or even GitHub.

$49/user/m for Premium seems really expensive compared to AzDo and GitHub. Does GitLab have some killer feature I'm not aware of that justifies spending 2-10x that of the competition?

$99/m for Ultimate eds? It doesn't even explain on the pricing page what you get for that, beyond a couple of bullet points of biz-speak - it's almost like they think anyone who buys that kind of language has more money than sense. Might have a point there to be fair, but still hard to see the point of Ultimate - would be really interested to hear if anyone here pays for it, and why?
